Getting a new mental health diagnosis is kind of like a twist in an M-night Sharmelon movie.

You quickly go to a montage of your life up to that point, and things that were mysterious before start to make sense.

Except that whole process takes longer than it does in a movie, and like Mark Wahlberg probably doesn't show up in your life reckoning.

Maybe he does. Who am I to say? I shouldn't judge. It's DePresh Mode. I'm John Moe. I'm glad you're here.

My guest this week is Samantha Irby, and Samantha Irby is pretty hilarious.

She's the author of several best-selling books of essays, including We Are Never Meeting in Real Life, Meaty, Wow, No Thank You, and a new collection, quietlyly Hostile, which comes out on May 16th.

Samantha Irby writes the blog, Bitches Gotta Eat, and has written for Sex in the City,

and Tuka and Bertie and other TV shows.

Her writing is funny and irreverent.

It tackles topics like her experiences with Crohn's Disease, Degenerative Arthritis, Depression, and Anxiety. Her future writing might include her experiences with Crohn's disease, degenerative arthritis, depression, and anxiety.

Her future writing might include her experiences with a new diagnosis that she hasn't talked about until this interview.

Samantha Irby joined welcome to depression mode.

Thank you.

I am thrilled to be here despite my depression.

Okay, well.

And your anxiety. You have haul and oats, right? You've got my depression. Okay, well. And your anxiety. You have, you have Hall and Oates, right?

You've got the depression and the anxiety. Yes. But, you know, it's been almost a year I started seeing a

psychiatrist who I was just kind of like describing all of my stuff to her.

And like at the end, she's like, you have OCD.

Oh.

And I was like, what?

And so I've been doing therapy with her and also taking lots of Zola.
